As the internet exploded over the weekend, moving from children in cages to Sarah Huckabee Sanders' inability to get a meal in Lexington, Virginia, you just knew that Trevor Noah and The Daily Show crew would have some fun with it. And they didn't disappoint.

From the opening joke about Sanders' tendency to blatantly lie to the press, to a crack about cheese boards -- "cheese is not Republican or Democrat" -- Noah is in top form.

There are also jokes about Trump's bone spurs, administration staffers' inability to get laid, and Stephen Miller reimagined as a Slytherin professor, proving that if you're smart enough, there is a way to squeeze laughs out of this daily cycle through the many layers of Hell.
